Ingredients

• 227 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Rose water
• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 30 grams Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Edible rose petals (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and rose water to the creamed mixture and continue to beat until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll gently between your hands to smooth.

Step 7

Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand to achieve a uniform thickness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar, and optionally garnish each cookie with a few edible rose petals for a decorative finish.

Step 12

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
